The 2010 Taurasi is a blackened red wine with savory aromas of cured meat and leather. The wine has entered into an attractive tertiary phase with balance, power and integrated tannins (which is not always easy with the heavily structured Aglianico grape). The finish is well built but not too dense or heavy.

The 2009 Taurasi is a darkly saturated red wine with thick layers of dried fruit, prune, blackberry, rum cake and volcanic ash. The ongoing motif presented by this wine underlines its powerful and muscular side. It also offers an extra edge, thanks to the slightly evolved aromas of licorice and tar that remind you of Taurasi's long aging potential. It finishes with a firm tannic grip.
